The SPIRITS of St. Petersburg and B. Stark Art Studios are pleased to present the Perfectly Proper Pop Up Paranormal Museum. This exhibit, made possible by a grant awarded by the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance and the City of St. Petersburg’s Office of Cultural Affairs, features works by local artists depicting locations linked to supernatural activity around the Tampa Bay area. In conjunction with the art, the SPIRITS of St. Petersburg are providing short QR links that lead to videos, articles, and artist interviews discussing various elements of the lore and legends on each location. Some of the exhibit also contains information about ghost hunting. Artwork is for sale and attendees may also vote for their favorite piece. The SPIRITS of St. Petersburg has copies of their book, Supernatural Saint Petersburg and Paranormal Pinellas, available for purchase, along with tarot cards from the Tarot Project, featuring 78 works by Florida artists.

The public is also welcome to bring in images, video, or audio clips that may contain supernatural captures for review.
